I recently purchased an EVGA 980ti, worked fine for a few days but then started crashing. While under load (sometimes just idle or on boot) the display shuts off and the monitor does not detect an input. Only way to fix is a restart. I have since put my old video card (EVGA 680, 3 years old) back in my computer to wait for the RMA to go through for the 980ti. Now I am getting the SAME problem with my old card. Which has never given me a problem before. Just did EVGA precision load test for about 20 minutes on my 680, no crashes.
I've Tried:
Updating CPU chipset
clean wipe and install of drivers
rolling back drivers to old versions
updating motherboard bios
monitoring heat (never above 80 Celsius)
System
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
i7 2600k 3.4 GHz
16.0 GB RAM 2x 8 sticks
corsair 850w power supply
ASUS P8P67 Deluxe mobo
AOC monitor 2560x1080
